Circus Horses at a Fire.

While Robinson's circus was in full
blast at Red Bluff on the night of August
6, sbont 9 o'clock On alarm OF fire was
given, which came near creating a panic
under the canvas. The alarm was for the
burning Of the Red Bluff Brewery, which
was completely destroyed.
When the fire apparatus reached the rail-
road crossing, Manager John Lowlow
directed the circus horses to be attached
to the engine and cart, and by doing so
performed good service in staying the pro-
gress OF the FIRE, because the engines we're
at the scene OF work not a second too soon
A large crowd OF the circus men also
worked hard at the fire. aud Lowlow sent
another crew OF trusted men through the
town to look after and prevent any thew
ing work.

Brooklyn Eagle.
Among my acquaintance is q young
lawyer OF convivial habits. He weighs
about 100 pounds and blessed with q wife
who tips the beam at something over 200
and runs" the household. Adjoining
the residence of this young lawyer is q
dude who greatly resembles him In hight
and manner of walking. The dieciple of
Blackstone began to enjoy Independence
Day on the LIST OF July, and his stalwart
wife told him that she would tolerate his
conduct no longer. On Sunday afternoon
he left the house, ostensibly on law bust
ness, and had not returned at 10 O'Clock.
His wife determined to give him q lesson
he would not forget in a hurry, and, arm
ing herself with one Of his stout walking
canes, waited at the window. Shortly be-
fore midnight she saw q man walking with
uncertain gait toward the house. He
halted at the stoop and she hurriedly
opened the door. Pouncing on the I'M
fortunate worshiper OF Baechus, she
belabored him until she was tired, and
remarking. "You can sleep in the street."
re.entered her house, vowing to take steps
for a separation without delay. At mid
night the young lawyer softly entered his
room. He told his wife how sorry he was
for not coming home earlier.
"Were you not here an hour ago?"
"No. certainly not"
"And nobody caned you I"
"Of course not. Why, what's the mat
ter?" anxiously inquired the lawyer.
His wife, however, would not give him
any satisfactory answer. The next day be
learned that his friend. the dude in the
pext house, had determined to quit the
neighborhood. To his landlady he said:
1.-The lawyers wife next door clubs the
life out OF him, and last night she pitched
into me by mistake. Idon't mean to run
| any more risks"

The Smell OF paper Money.

In speaking of q recent defslcstion at

IT is never safe TO inclose an old bill in
an envelope to be sent by mail. Why"
said he. "men who are experts can tell
whether o letter contains money or not
simply by the sense of smell. II you will
notice an old greenback II has a peculiar
smell about 1t that can readily be per-
oeived, even il II be inclosed within a let

ter or o postal note, or, II you inclose q
bill, be sure that II is . new one. That
will not smell."-Albapy Journal.
